No homework.

HW I:

Complete this assignment. It is not easy. Please do not blow it off or wait until the last minute because we will have a homework quiz on Monday. The quiz will consist of 2-3 problems from this assignment. I will host a review session on Monday morning at 7:30 in our classroom.

HW H:

  1. "Derivatives using Quotient Rule" worksheet.

If you missed today's class, you missed the Quotient Rule, which you need to know. Watch this video and do these practice problems (get 5 in a row). Then you can try HW H at this link. You may skip the last 3 problems on the right side of the page.

HW G:

  1. "The Product Rule 2" worksheet. Here's a link.

HW F:

  1. "The Product Rule 1" worksheet. Here's a link.

HW E:

  1. "More Power Rule Practice" worksheet. Here's a link. Even problems only. You will find the solutions on the second page.

Complete the following activities on Khan Academy:

  1. Introduction to Differential Calculus - Pause the video at 5:50 and predict the actual graph of Usain Bolt's displacement over time.
  2. The Power Rule - This rule will make our lives easier. :-) Note that in the video, delta x is what we call h.
  3. Practice the Power Rule (basic) - Get the first problem correct without a hint or get five in a row.

I expect that you will know the Power Rule when you walk into the classroom on Monday morning.

You decide.
